Remembrance of childhood...
|
Working in the fields with my father and my brothers. We thought it was cool to start earning money by working in the fields all day long. At that time we were making 25 cents a row which were an average of about 30 to 40 yards long. What were we thinking! LOL!

Remembrance of being a teenager...
|
Going to school at the Santa Fe Indian School. It is a boarding school that was built back in the late 1800’s and through out the years has had a lot of memories attached to it. I can proudly say my Grandfather went to school there, as well as my father and his younger siblings. My two brothers and most of my first cousins went there and are currently there today. Everything about it was a great impact on my teenage years.

Something that people don't know about me... |
I grew up in a culture of tradition in Santo Domingo Pueblo, N.M. I try to live by the ways that I was taught from my father and all the people that have shared their knowledge with me to be the person that I am today.
